OK, so after some work(and luck) I think I have the APN settings for the Inspire figured out for those that are using custom ROM's. Here is my step by step guide to get it all working. Data, MMS, all work great like this for me on CM7 and others.

1. Boot into your favorite custom ROM.

2. Go to Settings, then Wireless and Network, then choose Mobile Network, then APN settings (YMMV, ROMS can differ, but the actual APN screens are the same once you get there)

3. Check what APN you have already. If your name is "phone" and there is no wap.cingular, go to step 3a. If you have wap.cingular and no "phone" as name, go to step 3b.

3a. Create new APN (menu key, new APN) The Name field can be MMS, or AT&T or whatever. The following are the settings that have yet to fail me(the password is CINGULAR1):

Once entered and saved, go to your other APN and verify mms is NOT listed under it.

3b: Create new APN named MediaNET(rename other if needed, this MAY not be necessary, but it is what I did) and set it up as follows: APN: phone; APN Type: "default, supl". Menu button - Save. Change APN Type on other APN to "mms". Menu button - Save.That's it for this one. Once done, the new APN should be the only selectable one.

4. Enjoy.

The final settings should look lime the following:

Name: MediaNet

This gives me MMS and calling features but no internet obviously. What settings do I use to make the correct APN to get the internet to work? I just want to make sure I have everything exactly correct so I resolve this problem.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Yes, it gives you two, and no, the default info in the MediaNET APN is all you need.

I am having this same kine problem.. last night edge and Hspa stopped working.. I spent an hour talkin to an att specialist and he could not help..I changed my apn settings.. nothing phone wont go past GSM... no edge no hspa nothing...

If this keeps up then imma have to take it back and get a new one.. sucks cuz i'll have to root again and it was a pain in the butt last time :(..

I have no idea what happened

Went down the street where there is better signal and it started jumpin on EDGE and HSPA... so I don't know if its a weak antenna in the phone on or a weak signal from At&t

Please help I'm in desprite need of this feature my job relies on picture messaging
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
If our suppositions are right and the first nearly empty APN is the "4G" APN, then yes. If not, then it won't matter a bit.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Your settings look correct, it is possible there is a corruption in the APN preventing it from working properly. Try deleting both, then recreating them by hand.

Edit: On second look, I removed the supl from the MMS APN, and I can verify mine working fine.
[HTC Inspire 4G] corey600rr:
How do I remove the supl
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
You can't from a locked APN, you will have to delete and recreate them by hand.
[HTC Inspire 4G] corey600rr:
Can you give me a few steps on how to do that. Or do you just recommend I install another Rom? Like I said this is my first Android I was just playing around to see what I could do came across an easy method and just followed his roll... I'm down for a better one or newer Rom it doesn't matter I just don't want to have to update every day or week to keep up to todate. What would you suggest
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
In the APN screen where it lists them, hit menu button - choose delete APN for both APN's. Then, once done, hit menu - New APN. Set up the first one to get data access back, the MEdiaNet one. Then, create a second APN named MMS, then enter the settings as they appear in the OP. If that does not solve the issue, I would use Clockworkmod Recovery to install a new ROM like d1ll1gaf's Inspire ROM, after backing up data using a program such as Titanium Backup.

And yes, it is quite worth paying for the full version of TiBu. It has saved my ass many a time.
[HTC Inspire 4G] corey600rr:
Ok I can try that, so I us the number in the beginning of this thread for the apn?

Not sure what OP is

Thanks for working with me I appreciate it
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Op means original post, sorry. And yes, use the text apns at the bottom of that post. Yours should match them.

I've tried everything in this post and can't get my MMS to work. I'm running CM7 and I can't download MMS. Any advice?
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Reflash cm7 from a clean install and test it before installing Apps or signing into google servers. If that still doesn't work, try someone else's sim that you know for a fact works. Note: Do not use an iPhone or blackberry or dunbphone sim.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jeremyseattle:
Thanks - I appreciate your posting this info. However, I still cannot send or receive MMS messages. I'm on Android Revolution 3.3 (was on 3.1 until this morning). I've tried a lot of different APN settings I've found throughout the web, but only yours gives me the H icon (got 3G on everything else). Still can't figure out the MMS thing. Any tips? Thanks again!

UPDATE: I checked my AT&T account online, and I only had a Text messaging feature. I used my SIM card from my iphone, but then they told me I was required to switch to a 4G data plan. When they switched me (and I was able to keep unlimited data for the same price), they changed my messaging plan to Unlimited Text Messaging instead of Unlimited Messaging so that didn't include MMS. I was able to switch it myself (both features are $20), and within minutes MMS worked, with the two-APN solution in the original post (although I doubt changing this was necessary in my case).

Still, thanks for posting the info!

[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Check the post right above yours, if my settings don't work it very well could be that or a bad ROM flash. These settings work on any ROM. I have used them with all of them listed in the dev section except MIUI, just because I haven't run that one yet.

checked my message package ..thats fine .......have internet connection ...but still get the generic network failure on mms .also just upgraded to coredroid 5.1 still having same issue
[HTC Inspire 4G] TEKHD:
The 2 APN solution works... BUTTTT... have anyone noticed that internet stops working while mms downloads or is been sent... (due to apn auto swapping while sending/receiving mms) on a "stock" rom you will be able to send/receive mms while online... is there any solution in order to keep data while sending and receiving mms?
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
The stock rom uses the two apns as well. It uses the Phone apn for data and the wap.cingular apn for mms. If you describe what your setup is, then perhaps someone can help you.
[HTC Inspire 4G] TEKHD:
My setup is exactly as described here... But phone looses internet (data) while sending & receiving mms... Try downloading a file while sending an mms and you will see what I mean... File will stop downloading... For example try downloading a huge file like xpsp3 file from microsoft using opera and send an mms...
[HTC Inspire 4G] seh6183:
Im SO SICK of not having a definitive answer on APN settings. I have never been satisfied with any settings I've picked. In my opinion they are all flawed sets.

Henry Bravo is the most knowledgeable on this subject and even his settings wont allow me to do certain things. For example with Henry's settings I am unable to use the speedtest.net app. And for the settings right here in this thread I am able to do everything and have great speeds, but my MMS doesn't work.

There should be one set for AT&T and THATS IT. I don't see how there can be so much variance and opinion. I want to blow my brains out. My phone is on airplane mode 70% of the day because I am always having trouble with the network.

I have also followed the entire guide for editing my build prop and still can't get this right. If anyone thinks they can help I can post my build prop settings and screen shot both my APNs. I would really appreciate the help because I want to move on from this.

I am using the latest leedroid and am on AT&T in California.

[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
For me, the definitive answer, is setting up two APN's EXACTLY like in the henrybravo APN thread. Always works...maybe because I have had the exact same APN's since iPhone 3G week of release >>HTC Tilt Windows 6.5>>Iphone again>>Inspire....4 years...the same exact APN set up. Character for character and space for space.
[HTC Inspire 4G] seh6183:
Ok so I've come to the same conclusion. I dont know what or why but they worked this time around and not others. The only thing I changed was APN type on the MMS APN to "mms". Not mms,default,supl

This makes that APN unselectable to avoid confusion.

[HTC Inspire 4G] godsp33d:

You can actually not hit peak speed on HSPA+ if your account is not correctly provisioned and are on the wrong APN... That was the entire point of this thread back in the day.

Also, if you wind up losing data when GPS attempts to a acquire signal, change "supl" to the first APN instead of the wap.cingular. This mostly affects CM7 derived AOSP ROM's.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
I hit the same speeds with my Telus Desire HD using the single APN on an older non smartphone dataplan as my friends do with their Inspires and now Vivids. ;)

And as the title of this thread states "[HELPFUL ADVICE] Working MMS on custom ROMS with correct APN settings", that is exactly what I gave. Not everyone on here has a 4G plan I am sure. And if they want working MMS with the best speeds using their older plan then the APN I gave will do the job nicely.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Does this fix work consistently over several days? I gave up trying to find the fix for this GPS/data issue, but you found what I could not - I did not try moving "supl" to the Phone APN - so if you're saying this fix works long term, I'll update my APN thread to reflect it. Not that it matters much, as the APN thread is more or less dead, but I'd like to have it in there just in case someone uses it in the future. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Yes, it is permanent and works great. I have tested it on three inspires, my GT-i9100, and Captivate. I haven't had an issue since.
[HTC Inspire 4G] damienisxcore:
Ahh I see. I don't have 4G so that would explain the two APNs not functioning. My bad. But this single one isn't responding either. I guess I'll just change roms since there doesn't seem to be a solution. Thanks for the help guys.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Reinaldo33897:
Awesome worked beautifully A+

But all I did was go into my ATT APN and deleted "default,supl" from the APN TYPE line and just left the "mms" and now I can send pics and text messages as well wihout having to create a new APN.

Happy thanksgiving fellas! Hope all is going well wherever you are in the world.

I'm new to the whole Android platform, and have come across an Unlocked HTC Inspire 4g. Currently being used on T-Mobile. Everything went smoothly, my only "problem" is that my received MMS all come up tiny. Any of you kind people out there happen to have know a fix for this?

Here's a bit of background info on the phone:

Version - 2.3.5

HTC Sense version 3.0

Software number - Android Revolution HD™ 6.1.5

Thanks for reading.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Jasoninaz:
I've tested this and I can say I'm really happy with these settings. Why have thousands of APNs that you don't use at all. I narrowed down to exactly what you need for AT&T I hate extra code. I've been using this for the last 24 hours and no slowdown and my speeds are 7 megs down and 3.5 up and that was just a little bit ago. GPS is a fast lock too.

Try it out.

If your in the United States here is my suggestion and it works and kicks ass. Copy this in to a text file and rename it from txt to ApnBackup.xml and how do i get the file over to the phone? You download the program from the app store called APN Manager. Create your own apn backup and then with your new file with the information below replace it and do a restore. Reboot the phone and you should have three APN's.

I'm going to sleep because I've been working on this for a lot of time and I'm happy it works and gps has a fast lock now.

[HTC Inspire 4G] ZeroRilix:
When I put my Vivids SIM card in my Inspire, I have no data. Is it possible the LTE SIM gives me the LTE apn settings and not the HSPA+ settings like the Inspire uses? Changing to the settings in the op should give me my data back, correct?
[HTC Inspire 4G] pazzo02:
That's interesting. Unless they came out with another sim card, the one AT&T started using last year that no longer had "3G" on it was supposed to be for HSPA+ and LTE devices. I remember this because there was lots of talk that getting the new sim card would increase speeds on the Inspire (which it didn't).

You should try the OP settings, or check here:

Still using a non 3G Cingular Sim card with the single APN and using an unlimited non smartphone plan and I get download speeds of 5MB. ;) Just as good as one of my friends using a vivid with the vivid APN.

But on another note recently installed a WCX ROM and I was given the dual APN listed on first post upon boot. Data worked but MMS did not. Then I installed Geene Pooles new Prochloron ROM and it too gave me a dual APN. But instead of wap.cingular it was something like mobile.att and I could not get data connected with it. Not sure where it came from.
